ECLIPSE. The biggest thing to ever hit SCREEN 0.

Post by Patz QuickBASIC Creations »

Hey, it worked this time :P

Anyway, my 'company' (PQBC) is working on a TUIE (Textual Interface User Environment) in which is SCREEN 0 (for the most part.) To bad this can't happen with a one man army :P
I need help with:

1. Ideas: Anything any everything will help.

2. Useful SCREEN 0 SUBs and FUNCTIONs. Maybe a library would help, but I kind of doubt any SCREEN 0 library exists.

2.5. Speaking of library, I need a library for PDS with CALL ABSOLUTE. My copy of QBX library files are corrupt.

3. A SCREEN 0 file manager. QuickBasic style would be greatly appreciated. Have the selected file as a STRING($)

4. (for people who have used WINDOWS X) Ideas that would have been useful for their spinoff of DOS. I am developing one, called DOS-E(xtended), which will be distributed seperately and with ECLIPSE.

:!: GRAPHICS PEOPLE :!: I need screen savers (*.bas, please) for ECLIPSE!


Any and all help would be appreciated.

Hi PBQC,

Go to my website (http://www.ascii-world.com)

Then hit the "libraries" section

you might like what you see there ;-)

there's a file management library, a memory manager, a mouse library and a video library for direct video I/O, assignment, etc etc...I think that should keep you busy for a little while ;-).

Last time I knew, ASCII-World wasn't too developed. Now, I check, and it has MUCHAS librarys, programs, etc. Great job developing. I envy all you great website owners. I could never do what anyone else here does. I'm too cheap to even buy a domain, let alone too busy to design the website.

You could have the same the problem I had... Are u also using CALL INTERRUPT, or CALL INTERRUPTX? If so... remove DECLARE SUB ABSOLUTE from your qbx.bi... trust me it works... I've done it myselfs again with PDS...

Unfortunately, no one can be told what Qbinux is. You have to see it for yourself.

No, when I use CALL ABSOLUTE when trying to activate my mouse drivers, it shuts down PDS. So I'm kind of stuck with QB4.5 using NewQB.qlb, .lib, etc.

Try removing it like I said from x:\bc7\src\qbx.bi, where x:\ is your drive where you installed PDS. Just try it...
